The Language of the Flowers was a popular method to express feelings where words might be improper, but did you know other means of doing so? Some ladies used their parasols, as well as their fans, gloves, and hankies to flirt with a gentleman (or alternatively, tell them to shove it!). — Bree

“This boy, then. He wasn't new. Wasn't one of the worst people in the common room, those rotten rich boys - like Mr. Jailkeeper - who could not fathom a world beyond their own farts. Was a good working class lad, so he'd heard. Had a bit of a weird looking face, and a bit of a weird thing for preaching. Still.”

House Points can only be earned through IC threads - this encourages IC class participation and a more realistic Hogwarts roleplay area. Professors, Head Boy/Girl and Prefects can add and deduct house points. However, prefects cannot add or deduct house points from each other, nor can they add or deduct points larger than 10 for each task. Head Boy/Girl can add and deduct house points from prefects as well as each other. In addition, each house will earn 10-60 points each month to account for NPC students.

Detentions are often doled out in addition to house point deductions. Detentions in this era were most often corporal punishment: hanging students by their wrists in the dungeons for a few days, whippings, beatings, physical labor without the use of magic, or something otherwise dangerous to the student's person - such as entering the Forbidden Forest.
